Victorian Museum Awards

The Victorian Museum Awards highlight outstanding achievements and service in the museum, gallery and collecting sector. This special event celebrates organisations and individuals whose passion and work build a strong museum industry.

They also recognise the passion, expertise and effort of the individuals who work for our museums.

Objectives of the Victorian Museum Awards

  1. Raise awareness of museums as effective vehicles for engagement with ideas and communities.
  2. Reward and encourage best practice by individuals and organisations.
  3. Celebrate the value of museums to local and wider community groups.

In 2010 the Awards categories have expanded to include medium and large Victorian museums and galleries. This will foster interest and support from a larger portion of the sector, organisational members and museum managers.
